P'tit Cadeau ReviewThe narrator of the story, Ben, is told before he meets Jean Yves that the boy is a simpleton, unemployed because unemployable. He is pleasantly surprised instead to find the young man is both attractive and likable--but, Ben is sure, straight, and he accordingly resists his growing attraction.
This is a highly readable and intensely romantic novel.The author wisely focuses on the three essential characters that he has drawn well, and keeps his story closely tied to them.
The narrator, Ben, is beautifully drawn and, really (and appropriately), this is almost entirely his story. So we watch him encourage an unhappy younger man, struggle with his sexual desire and gradually and against his will, fall in love. It all rings true.
The second "character" is Ben's art, which is something quite apart from the rest of him, but essential to his nature (and a major element in the story) and this is handled with the skill of a master craftsman. By the time I finished reading the novel, I could almost have sworn that it had been illustrated. You can actually see the sketches, the paintings, the drawings, as Ben produces them. And, they are not something tacked on to "show off," they are entirely integral to the story.
The third character is Jean Yves, the young man with whom Ben falls in love, and he is somewhat less convincing. When he tells about being abused as a child, for instance, I simply did not believe it. But the character is complex, and develops wonderfully in the course of the story, making up for any lapses, and over the course of the pages we see him grow from a young man (much younger it seems, than his actual age of 22) drifting in an unhappy and idle life to full manhood and a successful career. By the end of the tale, Jean Yves seems the senior of the two lovers.
There are some highly erotic passages, some humor, and a wonderful sense of place--Southern France and various locales in Italy come vividly to life. And, as an aside, the cover is absolutely perfect, a rarity.
